7he marvel is that any'German

Row long would a goyernment
last in this country if/ the value
of a dollar had fallen below two
cents, and Canada, with sol
diers patrolling our cities, and
Alabama, Pennsylvania and New
York States taken, leaving our
workmen stripped of raw mate
SaM?
In this, as In other countries,
labor strikes, the struggle to hold
high wages that came out of the
war, supply the big problem.
There is only ONE thoroughly
united, persistent, persevering
power in the country, blways the
same, always pressing toward the
same end, and that is WELL
ORGANIZED CAPITAL.
Labor was never more uncertain
than today. Six hundred thousand
railroad shopmen break away from
the strike. Only the most highly
paid railroad workers, a compara
tively small group, seem firm in
their stand, and they, very prob
Sbly, will yield.
The fight is ' although
hot so called, a fight against unions
and for the open shop, to put an
end to labor's control of its own
working c6nditions, a -slight, un
certain control at best.
The Secretary of War declares
the open shop in the Panama Canal
Zone. No union control there any
nore. The idea is not to reduce
wages. It is "nov to be bothered
in conducting our business." Canal
Zone wages are higher than union
wages in the United States.
On one Louisiana railroad em
loyes have actually signed an
agreement to give up their unions
and union contracts. I
We are far from any end of
f government by financial intelli
gence. In a book published in 1843
Albert Brisbane predicted the
eation of trusts and monopolies,
the beginning of a period of "In
dustrial feudalism" that might last
as long as military feudalism had
lasted and rule as completely.
Industrial feudalism has for its
soldiers dollars that never eat or
sleep, always automatically in
resing, and for officers corpo
ration lawyers that direct cun
ningly, without exposing their
bodies to physical danger.
Very far off may be the end
of industrial, financial feudal
tem. And it may be the best
thIng for the nation. Everybody
s ruled by its brain, except when
inanity occurs, as in Russia. If
epitalism be more intelligent

Terms of Settlement
'Big Four' Will Demand
For Calling Off Strike
Internatml News Servel.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 24.-It will re
quire substantial concessions by the
railway executives, far beyond any
thing they have indicated a willing
ness to do, to avert the nation-wide
railroad strike scheduled to begin
October 30, according to the view
expressed by union leaders here this
morning after a series of conferences
which have lasted three successive
days.
The defection of railroad unions
affiliated with the American Federa
tion ot Labor has neither surprised
nor worried the chiefs of the "Big
Four," according to all indications
here.
" It was pointed out that the an
tion of these unions had long ago
been discounted.
While, in deference to the Railway
Labor Board, one of the union lead
ers wish to be directly quoted, the
International News Serviee learn.
authoritatively the following repre
ents the minimum which the "Big
Four" and the switchmen's union
leaders will consider adequate terms
of settlement:
1. Retention of all seniority rules
and working conditions.
2. WIthdrawal by the railroads of
the proposal for a further wage cut.
3. A definite promise from the rail
way executives that the policy of
"union baiting," be Rinndoned and
that the railroads keep their contracts
with the unions.

The words quoted are the first

It was pointed out by the board
that in the last year and a half It

While the "little entente"--Jugo
Slavia. Czecho-Slovakia, and Ru
mania-were preparing for military
measures, the Inter-allied Council of
Ambassadors at Paris sent an Impera

Hungarian government of Admiral
Horthy to expel Charles forthwith.

Hungary has not met with any re
sponse in any of the neighboring re
publics that were formerly under
monarchial form of government: Even
the Gegman monarehists in their
stronghold in Bavaria have remained
passive observers of events.
There is every indication that
Charles will never ascend the Hun
garian throne. Even If he should auc
coed In re-establishing himself at
Budapest, his reign undoubtedly
would be short-lived. Charles' bguse
that the Hungarians would floeck to
his standard proved unfounded, al
though he succeeded in collecting a

The attempted royalist coup of
Charles must be considered in cennec

in determining Charles upon his

Germany and Poland were at legger

Jugo-Slavia were regarding each

Albanian troubles; and Hufagary and
Austria were ready to fly at each
others throats over the disposItion of
B~urgenland.
Vienna became a hotbed et rumors
today and great numbers of conflicting
reports came out of that city. One
was that Charlee had' been abssan

and must be accepted with the utmeg
sopticism. Another was that lovict
Russia, taking advantage of the Uppr
Sileslan and Hungarian troubles, had
invaded Poland.
